Story
Meet Elsa, a playful two-year-old Australian Shepherd mix from Harlingen, TX, who’s all freckled charm and boundless energy wrapped in a soft white and brown brindle coat! Elsa is a joyful spirit with a zest for life that’s truly contagious. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch in the yard, or a spontaneous run just because, this girl is all in. She’s got a particular fondness for toys and a nose for pup cups and treats that she’ll earn with her adorable “sit” and “paw” handshake. Though she might come off a little shy at first, Elsa warms up quickly and reveals her loving, silly side to anyone willing to give her a chance. Elsa is both house-trained and kennel-trained. Elsa’s grooming needs are pretty minimal, making her a low-maintenance addition to any loving home. Elsa is searching for a home that’s as loving as she is. Are you ready to welcome a cuddly, playful companion into your heart and home? To find out more about adopting Elsa, please reach out today!

Story
Charly is a sweet boy, he was born in our home on January 2, 2022. We found homes for his sister and brothers, but not him so he became part of our family. He loves to run! Loves papaya, eggs, watermelon, yogurt and peanut butter, among MANY other foods. He loves scratches pretty much everywhere before going to bed. His confidence needs some work, he does tend to get upset when meeting new people, but if given a chance, you will see he just wants to know he’s safe with you first, he will show you so much love and devotion. He needs someone that will take him on runs or walks (will need training). It breaks my heart so much that I wasn’t able to give him the time and home he needs, he deserves better. I want him with someone that will love him at least as much as I have. He is part of a “Bonded Pair” with his cat brother (not required, but preferably)

Story
Matisse is a golden retriever mix, and is a great family dog who is good with kids and other animals. As our family has grown and we have recently moved, she does not get the attention she is used to or that she deserves. Our schedules are busy. We want to find her a home that can spend the time on her that she needs. She’s well trained. We prefer to rehome her to a family that will be able to have her mostly indoors and can provide her with daily exercise outdoors through walks or runs.

Story
Mela is a good girl but she has had many bad times. She was first rescued from the pound. But owner kept her in the kennel most of the day. Then she was left back at the pound cause owner could not handle her and was starting a family. My sister took her out of the pound but also could not care for her. I took her in but she is having trouble getting along with my other dogs. I believe she will do very well in a home where she gets all the attention. She does need lots of patience since she has been through a lot. I wish I could keep her but she just isn’t getting along my other 3 dogs. I also would not recommend her to family with small children. She is a good dog who needs all the love and attention.
